(thomas)

Oh the winds they were howlin' both ragged and cold

Through the grey melbourne streets in the pre-christmas days

And the sisters of mercy looked out through their tents

At the fires in petrol drums they seemed to say

Have we come to this is it all we can do

To sit here and wait to see the thing through?

But to dig in their heels was a thing they'd been taught

So they painted a sign and it said "blow your horn if you support".

Oh sister of mercy why can't they see

That a daughter of charity you'll never be.

It's a wicked old game that the government plays

When they treat you like dogs then you must have your day.

It's a telephone vote everyone grab your phones

All the people dial in from their luxury homes

It was easy to do far too easily done

Well the thumbs they went down it was three against one.

And none of us now can know how that felt

But they strengthened their stance and they tightened their belts

And the papers they all said "no beer for christmas"

It seemed such a shame

While the nurses sat out in the wind and the rain.

Oh sister of mercy why can't they see

That a daughter of charity you'll never be.

It's a wicked old game that the government plays

When they treat you like dogs then you must have your day.

Well the girl on the six o'clock news looked concerned

As she told of the developments bitter and bold

But i could not help wonder what she got for christmas

And was there a story we hadn't been told.

In the newsroom at the breakup the whole thing was fine

But they never drank beer the bastards drank wine.

While down on the pickets they cared not for beer

Just for health just for welfare

Just for their hard fought careers.

Oh sister of mercy why can't they see

That a daughter of charity you'll never be.

It's a wicked old game that the government plays

When they treat you like dogs then you must have your day

When they treat you like dogs then you must have your day

You will have your day someday...
